    Summary

    There’s something wrong with Will.

    It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.

    No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.

     

    Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

    Summary

    Jonathan would never hear the end of it if Will found out what he’s doing, so he needs to be subtle. Just enough to get Mike to treat him better. Just enough to redirect things.

    He settles on a stern, “Mike, I think we need to have a talk.”

    Summary

    Like most of Mike’s life, he pushes complicated feelings down, down, down - away from the party, away from Hawkins - until they come spilling back up.

    After nearly two years of silence and drifting from the party, a drunk Mike calls Will from his college dorm. As usual, Will still answers.

    Summary

    "What if I like, make it fun or something?"

    "That sounds... kinda gay," Gerard said breathlessly, no hint of malice as he cocked his eyebrow in intrigue.

    "God, yea, maybe a little," Ray palmed at his face and rubbed hard, "what if we make it like a little spa day? I'll buy you room service after, we'll make a whole thing of it."

    Gerard shimmied his shoulders into the comforter, "ooh, Spa A La Toro."

    ----

    You know that one show where Gerard's hair looks suspiciously clean? Somebody got him into that tub somehow.

    Summary

    Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.

    And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.

    OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.
